Hydraulic vs Mechanical Bike Disk Brakes - Which is Better?

Описание: Many bikes come with disk brakes now. The cheaper ones have mechanical disc brakes, and the more expensive ones come with hydraulic disc brake systems. Which one is better? Are hydraulic disc brakes on a bicycle better than mechanical disc brakes? In this video I tell you the pros and cons of each type of brake, and you can decide whether hydraulic disc brakes are best for your bike, or if you want to put mechanical disc brakes on your bicycle. I found that mechanical disc brakes are much more reliable and lower maintenance than hydraulic disc brakes, but the lever effort is higher when you are stopping your bike. Hydraulic disc brakes can get spongy and stop working, and they require regular maintenance and bleeding to keep them working properly. Because of this, I prefer mechanical disc brakes over hydraulic disc brakes on my mountain bike. In this video you get to see hydraulic brakes and mechanical disc brakes on two mountain bikes, and hear me compare them so you can decide which one is better.

Here is where you can get a Shimano brake bleeding kit with mineral oil if you have hydraulic disc brakes like the bike in the video.
